Caribbean design at its best

Life on an island has a charm of its own as it takes one away from the hustle and bustle of the city. And, if that island is located in the Caribbean, then it also adds an exotic touch to the whole experience.

Now feel like enjoying the Caribbean life? Well, there's a property up for sale in Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic.

Called the Villa Regal, this estate will soon become one of the exclusive Platinum Collection Villas at Cap Cana, and can be yours for Dh55 million.

Villa Regal, which has been built for a single family comes with five principal bedrooms with baths, nine bathrooms, living room, dining room, terraces, studio, office, gym, gazebo, three-level swimming pool, three kitchens, laundry area, two guest bathrooms, two rooms for maids with separate bathrooms, and terrace, as well as a security house with two bathrooms and kitchen, among others.

Cesar Herrera, CEO, Provaltur International, told Emirates Business: "Villa Regal is the most exclusive Villa at Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic. Spread over 3,000 sqm on a 6,700 sqm plot, the property has been created as a composition of spaces integrated into the natural surroundings.

"Its orientation is towards the outdoors lifestyle, with a grand patio as the centre of attention from which the various modules are connected, inviting you to move through covered walkways, gardens and ponds. The infinity swimming pool has a man-made beach on the lower layer to avoid the pool vs beach dilemma.

"Its architecture highlights the authentic Caribbean taste with the use of dark wood, stone and white walls to achieve a composition that balances design with nature.

"Open spaces, high ceilings and glass sliding doors in the social areas and bedrooms allow natural lighting and enable the terraces to create a perfect transition between the interior and exterior spaces.

"The living and dining areas are ideal for a family gathering and entertaining friends or business associates. The family room connects with the grand room via a short covered walkway and the master bedroom opens to an outdoor terrace and jacuzzi, which is covered with thatch and protected by a glass railing for transparency."

Spanning 30,000 acres of prime Caribbean waterfront, Cap Cana is situated on 3.4 miles of virgin beaches and features a range of luxury amenities, including a spa, a private beach club, boutiques and five restaurants and lounges. Herrera said: "The property offers privacy, yet convenient access to beaches, boutiques and restaurants."

Cap Cana also has a marina, and during the first phase of its construction, it will cater for 250 yachts of up to 250 ft in length. A world-class golf course can be enjoyed for its majestic scenery and offers you the golfing experience of a lifetime. The Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course provides some of the villas with spectacular views, and just a short distance away, a welcoming clubhouse offers you the most splendid service.

Herrera said: "Just a few steps from the Punta Espada Golf Club, the Villa overlooks the 9th hole, the driving range and the 10th and 18th holes of the Punta Espada."

And as location is what matters most in a property, buyers can rest assured as Cap Cana is just 10 minutes away from the International Airport of Punta Cana, providing easy access to visitors.

"Villa Regal was featured in the Christies Great Estate magazine and has received incredible attention, especially from prospective buyers from the Middle East, Europe and other high-end connoisseurs and investors. This is the largest villa available at Cap Cana and is ideal for a very special owner," he said.
